CSR Has to Come From the Backroom to the Boardroom: Dr.Bhaskar Chatterjee, Former Director General & CEO, IICA

Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, Director General and CEO, IICA, is the brainchild behind the 2% CSR mandate in India. “Anything regulatory in nature is a problem. Therefore it is essential for the auditing mechanism to capture the last pie”, says Chatterjee. Additionally, corporates need to look at places requiring development in other states and beyond the purview of their commercial operational areas. “Not a significant amount of help reached the drought affected areas. Aid towards deep-rooted agrarian crisis will be of immense help”, he adds while in conversation with The CSR Journal.

Bhaskar Chatterjee recently completed his term as Director General and now plans to concentrate more on his Individual Social Responsibility.
